It's really as simple as that - if you want there to be a vote, there will be. So far, every cycle the members have opted for an election. It may be a wacky setup, but it works.

only southern board members.

Did you say southern board members?....LOL

Sure. Antarctica if the majority wants to agree with it.

Candidate nominated!

Chadd Roper (Serious Tool) has consented to allow me to nominate him to serve on the board.

Chadd is a fearless advocate who loves geocaching and abhors hypocrisy and double standards. His contributions to geocaching in Southern Maine cannot be questioned and his seriousness of purpose is known to all.

I endorse his candidacy.

Ed

This is not the thread to nominate, but at least it is ensuring a few are interested in stepping up.

While some may argue Chadd does not meet eligibility, IMO having an opinion is one of the best traits of a board member, along with availability.

you have a conflict!:eek: Unless you have terminated your representation of Chadd in a manner consistent with the Maine Bar Rules.:D

Brad, you may need another campaign manager!:) Unless Chadd knowingly waives the conflict.

Just trying to keep you out of trouble Dan!

What I ask, is required to make one "eligible"?

I will say that I do have an opinion, and as you all have seen in the past few months of being back here un-moderated, I have toned down my style quite a bit. That being said.... I do know how to keep you all quite entertained as well!

Availability maybe an issue though. I work six days a week, and when I don't have a vested interest in a certain thread here, I don't log in much to take a peek. However, I could certainly spend more time on the forums.... if that's what you all want ;-)

Thank you for the compliment of a nomination Ed!:cool:

You had a board and moderators WELL before I came along. Maybe I am a reason to justify STILL having a board and moderators. And if that is so, why not allow me to participate :p

I waive the conflict (ceremoniously waving with hand in front of MacBook). We're all friends here.... ha ha ha

As was said previously, moderators are chosen by the webmaster as he owns the website, not the members. Moderators are not a function of the Advisory Board. :D:D
